Heroin Addiction and Its Dangers

Heroin, an illegal and highly addictive opiate derivative, is the most abused opiate in today's day and age. It is created from morphine, which is extracted naturally from the seed pods of certain plants. Heroin is usually sold in a powder form, either white or brown depending on the purity, and even in a sticky black form, known as black tar heroin. Heroin has become increasingly pure, but most heroin bought on the streets is combined, or "cut," with other ingredients like starch, powdered milk or sugar. Because it can be combined with anything, addicts have no reliable way of knowing what is in their heroin, and they can easily die of overdoses or catch diseases like HIV from sharing heroin-taking equipment, such as intravenous needles.

The Canyon is a heroin rehab center that helps patients break their addiction in the quickest and least painful manner possible. With the help of certified staff and therapists, and using a variety of treatment programs, patients are given the best opportunity to break the addictive cycle.

Heroin Addiction and Medical Complications

Heroin is not only addictive, but it can cause serious physical problems and maladies in its users. Chronic heroin use can lead to collapsed or scarred veins, bacterial infections and liver/kidney disease. Lung problems can also develop, and blood vessels can become blocked due to foreign substances that are combined with heroin bought off the street. One of the biggest risks, though, is the risk of dying of a heroin overdose, since about 1 percent of heroin addicts die each year from overdoses, even if they have tolerances to the drug.

Heroin Addiction and the risk for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C

Heroin addicts usually share their paraphernalia, including needles used to inject heroin into their bloodstreams. This can easily lead to infections of deadly diseases such as HIV. Nearly a third of the people infected with HIV have injection drug use as a risk factor to other people that they take drugs with. In fact, this is the number one way HIV is spread today in America.

Heroin Addiction and Pregnancy

The use of heroin while you are pregnant can have disastrous consequences on your unborn child. Some of these consequences can include miscarriages, premature delivery, SIDS and even death of the baby. After being born, the child will also have an addiction to heroin, and will need to spend more time in the hospital in order to get them off of the drug. However, if you are pregnant and try to quit heroin without help, you are almost guaranteed a miscarriage. So, if you are pregnant and taking heroin, you should seek professional medical help immediately.
